USA maintained their emissions during the past 30 years and are set to slightly reduce them in the next 10. [3]

- scarejunba 7y agoWhoops, out of date data for me. Yup, China is awful: 2x the emissions with 3x the people but each individual American is significantly worse. Individual Americans don’t get to blame Chinese people when all they’re doing is trying to catch up to American standards of living. The best part is how easy it is to be carbon negative. I am, and lots of the people pointing fingers at China aren’t. So, take the beam out of your eye. And this is not counting that what’s important is the area under the curve, not the present value.
